Saw some over the last few days with a Generator body that was bery short - but large diameter. They seemed big machines - rather than domestic ones. Any ideas why the different design?

It's probably one with no gearbox. Hence the generator is large diameter because it has many poles (rare earth magnets.) The benefit is that it's cheaper to make and no whining gearbox noise to annoy people.

That documentary the other day about service engineers that have to go round the offshore ones doing oil changes, repairs and some kind of hydraulic system fixing scared the wotsits out of me. Rather them than me I think. Brian
